Let's pretend that everything we have seen was real.

Gabriel Liston paints in a tiny backyard greenhouse and on location. He works from site panels and notebook drawings. He was raised in Western Colorado and in 1995 moved to Oregon with his family to finish his degree at PNCA. He paints as a first-person, true-facts-only, yarn-spinner on the intersection of water history and domestic life.

Photographic reference is limited to historical details and commissioned collaborations (such as illustration projects or portraits where the sitter is unavailable).
